Apparently, it was in the wee hours of the morning, and her husband had gone off to work. Therefore, after preparing all the breakfast necessities, Samantha fell asleep. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when they least expected it.

Fast asleep, Samantha remembers being woken up her 4-year-old nephew. Apparently, he was screaming frantically, and his words were not coherent. From the look of things, it was clear something was wrong. And the only thing she could hear clearly was the word ‘fire’ coming out from the young boy’s lip. Still, in an array of confusion over what was happening, Samantha decided to walk in the kitchen to have a look at things. But, she did not step further. Immediately, they were engulfed in a cloud of billowing smoke.

Instantly, it dawned on the first time mother that her house was on fire. Immediately, Samantha ran towards the washroom and begun throwing water aimlessly towards the fire, but her method did not solve the solution. Instead, the fire continued blazing, and they were at risk of being consumed. Later, after realizing the water was not working, she decided to rush towards the door with the children, but it was impossible. Apparently, the smoke became too thick, and the fire encroached the front door as well.
